Wierd Sunflower update
Of the 23 small heads this one plant now has, 4 of them are starting
to bloom. I think this one plant is going to have a lot of trouble supporting all those seed headsG. |

John, It may be worth providing support for the plant. You could have a prize winner there or even a mutated variety. Be sure to take lots of pictures. -- Bill R.

In general, the multibranched sunflowers have relatively small flowers, so the weight isn't all that great. The small flowers make good cut flowers, although in general sunflowers will drop yellow pollen on your table as they mature. |

In some very nice colors, too. -- Caren |

It just happens to be growing within 12" of the house so I'm going to support it via the underside of my eaves. Its just too neat to let break due to the load. Heads look small in comparison to the others and another popped open today. |
